Chapter 12
The newborns have arrived and Edward sent a werewolf to inform the others. Now the natural enemies stood side by side becoming allies for once, only to defend the land which was rightfully theirs. Well it was more the werewolf land but the Cullens were allowed to own a portion of it as well. The Cullens would fight first, and so they stood in a line on their soon-to-be battle field, awaiting their enemy they will most definitely give their all to crush.
The new borns were dashing through the woods, following the blood marks Bella left with her blood on the trees, that would lead them to their battle field. They sped up with each mark they reached, anticipation and excitement building up by the second.
Ichigo sat high up on a tree branch. Soon, he heard rustling and cracking of branches and soon the vampires came into view. His heart jumped a bit with excitement. There were so many of them, and they all looked so hungry and vicious. But what was he getting all worried about? He kicked stronger ass, he had his experience in battles. Also, he had all these weapons to aid him, he will kill at least ten for sure!
He decided to let the battle between Victoria's army and the Cullens and the werewolves begin and watch to what it would lead. At first the werewolves and the Cullens had the upper hand, but soon the newborns began to show the signs of being fast learners. They seemed to work out well working plans on the way. They attacked in groups, each already knowing what to aim for. The wolves were suffering most, there were already a few with broken bones and Ichigo knew, if nothing was done now, someone might die the next second.
So he leaped down from the branch onto the ground, landing in a crouching position. In front of him were several bushes and trees, he rushed in and stopped between several, exploding two gas bombs to cover his scent and form from being seen. Everyone's attention was caught by the sudden intrusion. The newborns, ever so eager, were the first to attack, while the older and more experienced beings stayed and watched what would happen next. But that's exactly how Ichigo wanted it. There were 8 snarling and thirsty newborns nearing him, they caught his heart beat with their sharp ears and instantly thought: Food!
Ichigo was ready, he pulled out the two katanas on his back and was ready to attack. Though he was fascinated. His senses were heightened and he guessed it was because of the mask and his hood covering his vision. He knew who it was and at what speed they were nearing. Only groans and sounds of metal slashing once living now frozen flesh were heard. There was a pause before everyone understood that the newborns that entered the cloud of smoke met their doom, or were finally resting in peace. More new borns rushed in. Ichigo fought them off well, but as more lunged at him, the more the tension on him rose. The gas was blocking his senses in a way so he leaped out of the cloud of smoke to the side.
Now that he was out he could be visible to everyone, and his scent recognized by those who met him before. But at least now there was nothing in the way of his senses. He fought off the new borns well, but soon the blades of his katanas broke. They were strong, but they were not cutting soft flesh, they were basically severing rocks. He dropped the broken swords to the ground and withdrew two more.
He aimed for the necks, heads, chests, and other vital points, though the first three were most affective to be struck. But the vampires weren't going to go down just yet. Several aimed with their claws and legs at his legs in an attempt to injure him and swap him off his feet. He buried one katana in one newborn's leg and used it for support as he leaped up and kicked in the faces the ones around him away. It worked for a bit, the vampires were pushed back. So he landed back down and severed off the leg of the vampire in whom he buried his sword. But then the restless beasts aimed at him again so he leaped and made a flip backward in the air only to land behind the vampires and out of the circle they surrounded him in. They quickly turned with snarls and ran to him. But it was a bit easier for him to kill them now that he wasn't completely surrounded by them.
The Cullens and the werewolves saw that who ever this intruder was, he was good. For one, he was skilled with the weapons. For two, he knew vital points to strike to kill. And for three, he was human. They watched for a bit but soon they decided to come to him for help. No matter how good he was he was still a human, thus he'll soon be exhausted. If older vampires got tired before newborns then it was a miracle a human was still standing, much less kicking newborn ass.
Several newborns managed to scrape Ichigo with their claws, earning groans of pain from him and weakening him. But he wasn't going to give up yet. He took out a can of tear gas and spun around fast while spraying the liquid into the eyes of the newborns. They soon shrieked in pain and irritation of their eyes. He suspected they would recover soon, signs of which several were making already, but he wasn't going to give them that chance. He moved swiftly past them slashing their heads off. 15 vampires fell. To add to the total number of his kills he defeated 23. Not bad, but he lost two more swords, and there were still 76 vampires left.
Now that the werewolves and the Cullens jumped in, less vampires had their attention on him. He loaded his cross-bow and started shooting vampires that ran at him. He shot them square in the foreheads without missing. Several of them were taken down by werewolves as they ran at him. But soon he was out of arrows. So he withdrew the kunai and the shurikens. He killed several more, but more were closing in so he took out his last two long katanas, to leave only two short ones.
He was getting tired and that was bothering him. These were the disadvantages of relying on your zanpakuto and hollow powers and then losing your powers. But he was too stubborn to go down just yet. There was no way he would let these bastards live. After he was done here, he would go after Riley and that Victoria bitch. They were not newborns, thus they were weaker, but then again, more experienced. Anyway, he had his own experience. He still kicked Riley's ass even when the other twisted Ichigo's ankle. Even though it wasn't his style to use tricks such as grenades and tear gas in fights, he still had to rely on them because he didn't have his getsuga tensho anymore.
As more newborns got to him, they quickly got the upper hand. He was fighting them back well and killing them as well, but not well enough to keep himself from getting clawed. He grunted and leaped up as high as he could in the air and made a flip, landing on the ground and sliding back a bit on the slippery from the snow grass. But when he jumped one vampire caught his hood with her claws and pulled it down. So when he landed, his ginger hair was revealed. He innerly cursed, his identity was revealed to the Cullens and the werewolves. But he wasn't going to get distracted by this. Something gave him more strength to fight and as the newborns charged at him he seemed to have more luck killing them, but not until one buried their teeth in his neck.
His eyes widened in surprise and he froze for a moment, only for another vampire to claw his chest. He clenched his teeth and dropped his swords. He reached back and gripped the vampire behind him by the back of his shirt and threw him over the shoulder on the vampires in front of him, before the one behind him could crush his bones to add to the bite.
The vampire didn't release his neck as it was thrown at the others and tore the flesh even more. But Ichigo wasn't going to be stopped but this kind of wound. He received more serious wounds. He bent down evading a kick from another vampire behind him and picked up the swords he dropped. Then he spun and severed the legs of the vampire that aimed to kick him in the back. He stood up straight and killed the last of the final attacking group on him.
He panted heavily as he stood there. The ground was painted red with blood. The Cullens and the wolves stood there watching him. They were shocked then they saw that ginger hair by which they recognized Ichigo instantly. But as he stood there, panting heavily, blood rushing in a fast flow down his front and back from the bite on his neck, the look in his eyes and the mask he wore, for a moment they thought it wasn't a human standing in front of them. His eyes gleamed with fire of determination.
His eyes traveled slowly between the staring wolves and vampires. Then he saw a new-born running at Jacob from behind. He threw one katana. It pierced the newborn's head all the way through but not before the piece of shit broke Jacob's ribs in a hard, 'love-filled' embrace. Jacob let out a roar. Another werewolf lunged at the already dead vampire but still tore it to shreds.
Ichigo panted a little more. He seemed to have wasted all of his remaining energy on that last throw and dropped to his knees, then to the ground face down. The werewolves shifted back to their human form and carried Jacob away while the Cullens rushed to Ichigo's side. Bella and Edward arrived.
"What happened?" Edward asked as he looked at Ichigo.
Bella gasped, her eyes welling with tears. Alice appeared at Bella's side and hugged her, hiding her face in the crook of her neck to keep Bella from looking at Ichigo. Blood was spreading fast around him.
No one answered Edward as he had already read their thoughts to find out. Carlisle looked at Ichigo's neck. "He should be turning...but he isn't."
"What do you mean?" Esmé asked.
"Usually when a human is bitten and are turning they writhe and shriek in pain, you all know that well." Carlisle said, a knowing look appeared on everyone's faces.
"Then what's happening?" Rosalie asked.
"Is he dead? That was a pretty strong bite and I can tell he had already lost 3 litters of blood." Jasper said.
"No, he isn't dead. His heart beat is extremely slow and he is breathing." Carlisle said. "The vampire buried all of his teeth full force and didn't let go when Ichigo threw him over his shoulder. Some flesh was torn out. But he's still holding on."
Everyone was fascinated by such stubbornness and will to live. Never have they met anyone so.
"He needs to be taken away... The Volturi are here." Edward said.
Carlisle looked at Rosalie and Emmett. "Take him to our house and get my equipment ready. I will be back soon."
The two vampires exchanged looks, but did as they were told. Emmett carefully but quickly scooped Ichigo up in his arms and then the two of them took off. The rest of the Cullens stood there, ready to meet with the Volturi.
